Go to sleep, my darling

Bertrand “Bert” Baxter is a towering former football star who now sells sporting‑goods to coaches and school superintendents with uncanny ease. In the world of lockers and basketballs he moves like a pro, anticipating every need of his male clients. At home, however, his confidence stalls; the same instincts that win contracts leave him baffled by his wife, Rolanda, and their lively brood of four daughters.

The house is a constant chorus of giggles, hair‑curling rituals and midnight feedings, and Bert’s greatest challenge is finding a quiet moment for himself. One sleepless night he pleads silently to his infant daughter, Annie, begging her to “go to sleep, my darling” so he might finally catch a few hours of peace. The gentle humor of his domestic battles offers a warm, relatable portrait of a man trying to bridge the gap between a man’s world and the bustling, ever‑changing rhythm of family life.
